This spring, Comcast employees, along with friends, family and community members, joined forces for a season of service through Team UP, Comcast’s national employee volunteer program. Team UP empowers employees to connect with their communities and make a positive impact 365 days a year.
From March–May, dozens of employees across Greater Philadelphia, New Jersey and northern Delaware volunteered with community organizations on a variety of projects.
